What Killed Croauet.

Many of US remember that fifteen or
twenty years ago croquet was pleasant,
if not very exciting, pastime for sum
mer afternoon; but when enthusiastic
players discovered that the way to win
the game was not to make the running of
your own hoops the first object, but
rather aim at preventing your opponent
from running his, by leaving his ball be
hind peg or wire; and when they de
veloped systematic methods of carrying
out these tactics, the game was at once
changed, for all ordinary people, into as
disagreeable form of amusement as ever
was devised; and croquet died of sci
entific play, and lawn tennis reigned in
its stead.-Temple Bar.

Cleaning Carpets.

Carpet cleaning, as ordinarily per
formed, is literally carpet-beaiing and
does much toward destroying tie carpet.
The proper way, if one is in the country,
is 10 get a branch of tree or young
sapling as thick as the butt OF an axe
handle, and which terminates in good
number of light, whip-like shoots. A
beech branch will sometimes bti found,
which viii answer the purpose. 1t must
be trimmed up, and every twig, knot or
roughness be removed which could catch
in the threads and tear the carpet. OF
course, the hatter the upper part is the
better. as more Of the whips will strike at
the same time. Toclean the carpet, hang it
over a line placed so high that the lower
edge will clear the ground Take the
big whip in both hands and strike a
strong. quick blow. A cloud Of dust will
fly from the whole space struck. yet the
blow will not appear to make very much
impression on the carpet itself. The end'

the blow among themselves and each one
has made sharp, quick stroke like that

Famous Recipe for Curing Hams.

The following is the famous recipe
used by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing hams,
several hogsheads of which were annually
sent to Boston, where, under the name of
Ashland hams,n they commanded the
highest of prices, especially among the
wealthy wings Of that city:
For every ten hams of moderate size,
dc took three and one-half pounds of
nne SAT-, ono pound-ef.<zl:ri,stsrr,- =. =
pounds Of brown sugar, and after mixing
these thoroughly together, rubbed the
hams Herewith on either side. They
were then packed in n tight box and
placed in a cool clubhouse for about three
weeks, when the hams were taken out
and put in a picking tub or hogshead
and covered with brine strong enough to
swim an egg. After remaining in the
pickle for about three weeks they were
taken out, thoroughly rubbed with fresh
salt and hung up in a well ventilated
house for few days TO dry. Next they
we're transferred to the smoke house,
where they were hung up and smoked
with green hickory or walnut wood until
they acquired the color of bright ma
hogany This accomplished, each ham
was sewed up in canvas, the coverings
whitewashed and hung up TO dry, after
which they were whitewashed again and
packed away in hogsheads with hickory
ashes, until wanted either for home use
or sending to Boston.
